Final expense insurance is an affordable, permanent life insurance policy designed to cover burial costs, funeral expenses, and unpaid medical bills — so your loved ones never carry that burden alone.
No obligation. No pressure. Just honest guidance.
Final expense insurance — sometimes called burial insurance or funeral insurance — is a type of whole life insurance policy with a smaller face value, typically ranging from $2,000 to $35,000. It is designed specifically to cover the costs associated with end-of-life expenses, including funeral services, burial or cremation, outstanding medical bills, and any remaining debts you may leave behind.
Unlike traditional life insurance, final expense policies are easy to qualify for. Many people between the ages of 50 and 85 can get covered with no medical exam required. The premiums are fixed for life and the death benefit is paid out directly to your named beneficiary — typically within days of a valid claim.
In Tampa, Florida, the average funeral cost ranges from $8,000 to $12,000 or more when you factor in burial plots, services, and related expenses. Without a plan in place, families are often left scrambling to cover these costs out of pocket — sometimes turning to crowdfunding or taking on debt. A final expense policy eliminates that risk.
